Use case:
Working at National Instruments we wanted to get people easy access to training on NI’s software. We worked with a 3^rd party vendor to create a website which would deliver online training videos to our audience. The original vendor created a video clip, then exported the image sequence, which would give the impression of movement when the user scrolled up and down on the page. After the initial launch we realized the homepage would crash if the user would scroll beyond what was already loaded (I think the page tried to load 1,400 images in sequence).

Role:
Web Designer

Technologies:
C#, .NET, HTML, CSS, .JS, Azure, Parallax, Visual Studio

Outcome:
I did not know C# or .NET at the time, but as part of our Azure migration we had access to Microsoft solution experts. I was able to work with them to diagnose the issue and get a baseline understanding of .NET and MVC technologies the third party company used. This allowed me to support the website going forward with new content and the ability to scale it up or pull back on content if required. Microsoft solution experts were not allowed to write code for us, so I needed to come up with a strategy for the homepage. I decided to build a basic html/css webpage with a javascript library (cannot remember which one) that would create a 3d flipping between different hero images/call to actions we had. I added this to the index of our web app and worked with Microsoft engineers to stress test the site and ensure the stability of the site.
